The Marsa & Pietà Hotspurs managers are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the First Division league table.
- Marsa has the most scored goals (38) in First Division
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Marsa form and stats
6-0-1 is the performance here at MFA Centenary Stadium so far in the First Division, giving Marsa a total of 18 from their 7 games here. Outstanding results! Marsa has a nice streak going on as they have played 13 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Pietà Hotspurs defeat 94 days ago. Marsa has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at MFA Centenary Stadium. We remember; it was Vittoriosa Stars.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Zebbug Rangers in only three days.
